Documentation

Setuptools is a fully-featured, actively-maintained, and stable library designed to facilitate packaging Python projects.

It helps developers to easily share reusable code (in the form of a library) and programs (e.g., CLI/GUI tools implemented in Python), that can be installed with :pypi:pip and uploaded to PyPI.
